Lovely home in a great location

We loved our stay at the cottage! The home is very clean and well-stocked. The kids loved the yard and firepit, and we loved doing the three local trails. After being tired and dirty from hiking, it was great to wash up, do laundry, and enjoy the strong wifi and big tv. We appreciated the guest book and its recommendations as well.

Peaceful, clean haven on the Quiet side!

This property exceeded my expectations. It was clean and spacious and the hosts provide so many thoughtful amenities, from a dog crate to art supplies for the kids. I can't say enough about how great this place is. The location is quiet but easy to get to and the home is decorated nicely and immaculately clean. What a find!

This was a fabulous property. It was very comfortable, clean and with everything you could possibly need. The setting was beautiful and peaceful and well located for Acadia, beaches and hikes. It was nice also to just relax there. I can’t recommend this property enough. Thank you to the hosts who thought of everything!

Great house, great location

This was probably one of the best stocked vocational rentals we have ever stayed in. Everything you need is provided. The place was so clean and was the perfect size for a family of 4 with two teenage boys. The location was amazing. It is just a half mile walk from the house to the bass harbor lighthouse and 25 minutes from the Acadia visitors center and the start of the park loop road.

Great dog-friendly spot!

We enjoyed our stay here while in town for a family reunion! It’s a lovely, quiet spot and the house (clearly recently updated/renovated) is clean, organized, and well-stocked. We also appreciated how dog-friendly it was and loved being such a short walk from the Bass Harbor Light.
